o. s. Powell's SiIo.

Oliver S. Powell, acting on his con-
victions after mature investigation
has built two silos, one with four pits
to hold about 230 tons ON his out
farm, and another on his home farm
with three pits to hold about 30 tons.
They are about finished and the ma
chine Cor chopping up the corn is daily
expected, so that it is likely the bust
ness of filling will soon be going on.
He has magnificent crop of corn
waiting to be converted into ensilage;
10 acres for the home silO which looks
as though it would yield IS bushels of
shelled corn per acre, and an equally
promising field for the larger silO. 1t
takes some clear grit to devote over
80 acres of first-class corn to such a
test. but Mr. Powell seems to have it.
and will be able to tell next spring
what he knows about silos from actual
experience, and we think it safe
prediction to say that he will Danish
all doubts on the subject by this test,
and increase his storage next year.
The matter has been tested by scores
of farmers elsewhere, and Mr.. Powell
has so thoroughly posted himself in
all the essential requirements of silo
building and filling that no thought of
failure need be entertained. His ac-
ton will no doubt lead many of our
farmers to follow in his footsteps next
season.

General Logan's Great Work.

A beautifully bound and artistically
illustrated volume, bearing the title
THE Volunteer Soldier of America,
comes to us from the publishing house
of X. S. Peale & Co., Chicago. The
public has anxiOusly been awaiting
this work from the brain and hand OF
the brave soldier who is sleeping in
mortality, but awake in Immortality
General John A. Logan. Its author
ship alone would invest it with an
undying interest, but. aside from this,
his fitness for treating the subject gives
the volume practical value hardly TO
be estimated. He was an experienced
military man who had carefully and
intelligently studied the military sys.
tenn of the country; and when, in con-
vincing language, and by indlsputable
facts, he demonstrates the need of
reform, the country will do well TO
heed his words. General Logan speaks
emphatically, but without prejudice or
bitterness. and no ona can read this,
his greatest work. without feeling that
it has been written from first to last as
a duty owed to a nation which had
crowned him as one of its greatest sol
Q1efS ana SJdJeSHell.
The Volunteer Soldier" is not "war
book" in the common meaning of the
term; neither is it life of EOgan--al-
though the biographical memoir of the
author, which precedes the body of the
book. is, without doubt, the best short
biography of the illustriOus volunteer
leader that has ever been written, con-
tanning many facts and incidents in
his career never before published; and
the Generals Military "reminiscences,
it must be admitted by all, form most
valuable contribution to the history of
the great civil strife.
1t is the only connected history of
the volunteer service of America that
has ever been written; the first and
only great attempt to perpetuate the
glorious achievements of the volunteer
American soldiery, and to give the
volunteer soldier aud sailor that honor
and place in history which are SO justly
their due. Logan never was more ell
oquent then when reciting the deeds or
advocating the rights OF his comrades
i'm arms. In this work he demands
Justice for the defenders of the Amer
lean Republic, and shows that the
safety aud permanence of our free in
situations depend upon the strong arms
and loyal hearts of our citizen soldiers
The handsomely printed pages of the
book abound with thrilling descrip-
tions of the heToism of individuals.
companies. regiments, divisions and
corps. Much of it reads like rO-
nance.
The work is copyrighted by Mrs.
Logan. who receives two thirds of the
gross profits. The first edition, the
publishers state, has already been ex-
hausted, but others are under way.
The Voluntee Soldier" is large

An English physician recently re-
moved a section of a patients liver,
placed it on a plate, scraped il care
fully and returned it to its place fully
restored to its normal action. This
promises to work revolution in the
treatment of disease, and in a few
years we will have an addition to do
nestle literature something like this:
Husband, | wish you would take
Johns right lung down to the doctor
this morning and have the middle
valve fixed" or ''Will you step into
the doctors when you come home this
noon and see if Mary's liver is mended,
as she wants to go out to tea this eve
ning!" The practice will become so
common in time, we are sure, that
none of the neighbors will be in any
way startled to see wife with q veil
tied around her head leaning out of a
bedroom window, and shouting to a
receding husband: Jeremiah! Tell
DR.. Scrapem to send up Willie's right
kidney at once, whether it's done or
not. He's had it there more'n week,
and the child might as well be without
any kidney and done with it!'-Er.

Give Them a Chancel

That is to say your lungs. Also all
your breathing machinery. Very
wonderful machinery it is. Not only
the larger air passages, but the thous-
ands of little tubes and cavities leading
from them.
When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be
there, your lungs cannot half do their
work. And what they do, they can
not do well.
Call it cold, cough, Group, pneumonia,
catarrh, consumption or any of the
family of throat and nose and head and
lung Instructions, all are bad. All
ought To be got rid of. There is just
one sure way to get rid of them. That
is to take Boschee's German Syrup.
which any druggist will sell you at rs
cents a bottle. Even if everything
else has failed you, you may depend
upon this for certain. cow
